Matt Fitzpatrick just won the 2026 Valspar Championship with a bogey-free final round and a birdie on 18. His iron play is elite — and it starts with his hands.
In this video, I break down the 3 keys to Fitzpatrick’s swing and show you exactly how to build it step by step:
0:00 — Intro
0:45 — Step 1: The Superman Feel (Chest Expansion Drill)
3:30 — Step 2: The Grip & Arm Connection (Seated Drill)
8:00 — Step 3: Max Cups & Driving the Handle
10:30 — Hitting Balls with the Fitzpatrick Swing
Fitzpatrick has one of the strongest lead hand grips on Tour, max cup in both wrists at address and rides them to the top, and uses his trail hand pinch to drive force into the handle like nobody else. These are all things you can work on right at home with a Compact Club.

Let's Go. Great breakdown. The way he swings looks so pure on his back swing. Makes sense that if your saying he applies a lot of pressure on the takeaway
How does the swing change with a weak trail hand vs strong?
I love Charl Swartzel’s swing , this is what he does ! John
